How to upskill your bioinformatics skills


Hello Bioinformatics lovers and new subscribers,

Tommy here. How was your week?

It was a busy week for me.

I first attended the FoG (Festival of Genomics) conference in Boston and co-taught a bioinformatics upskilling workshop with Dean Lee.

If you want to follow a practical guide to upskill your bioinformatics skills, read the PDF here.

I then gave a talk on "Good Enough Practices for Reproducible Bioinformatics Analysis" at Moderna. Read the PDF here.
